In the body
What it does.
The same tuber as the milk, ground into a paste. High in resistant starch, a fibre your gut bacteria feed on, and sweet enough that nothing is added. Most of its fat is oleic acid, as in olive oil. High in fibre, which contributes to normal bowel function. Stir it into porridge, spread it on toast, or eat it off the spoon.
